Essential New Music: Cleared’s “Lustres” (@room40.bsky.social, @stevenhess.bsky.social). Deep and weightless, “Lustres” is an artifact of sound breaking free of form only to reconstitute as new music. Read our review: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/10/e...

Thinking of @capgrasman.bsky.social a lot at the moment. Few of us can have lived in a city under military bombardment. I hope he's safe.

behold — a handy recap of the past week on The Tonearm in newsletter format (Liam Kazar! KMRU! Fausto Romitelli! wavepool! Stephen Vitiello!), plus some bonus nuggets from our interview with @room40.bsky.social (click it) → www.thetonearm.com/r/82608e36?m...

Lawrence English on Bluesky → @room40.bsky.social

After spotting him last year alongside Ojerum, we now find Peter Knight flying solo, weaving his trumpet notes into electronic layers and granular textures. It’s surprising, stunning, and available on @room40.bsky.social #ambientmusic #peterknight #room40 www.etherreal.com/spip.php?art...

we've been lucky to have many fantastic conversations published on The Tonearm thus far, and this one between the two Lawrences — @lawrenceperyer.com and @room40.bsky.social — is a top fiver no doubt about it 💥

SYD folks...Makino Takashi is coming to visit....the show at Art Gallery NSW is already almost sold out....don't sleep!

Gotta say that @room40.bsky.social has been a remarkable label to learn about more over the years. A generous range of artists in a shared sphere, steadily expanding possibilities.

… Among the many topics discussed, English shares his theories on "acid nostalgia," the tension between space and place in field recording, and why he stopped performing for eight years. Be sure to tune in to this fascinating conversation: podcast.thetonearm.com/lawrence-eng...

On today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast, we're joined by Australian composer and sound artist Lawrence English to discuss his philosophy of relational listening, the 25th anniversary of his label Room40, and his new collaborative album, 'Trinity', with Stephen Vitiello … @room40.bsky.social

BNE! Makino Takashi is headed our way!

This was honestly a joy. Lawrence at @thetonearm.com , was open to covering some wide terrain including my proposal of Acid Nostalgia, listening and weight lifting, surprise, and the joys of collaborating with people like stephen vitiello.
